Hasbro has posted an update regarding four of the five Retro Collection Indiana Jones figures announced yesterday. Short Round (TOD), Indiana Jones (TOD), Henry Jones Sr. (TLC) and Sallah (TLC) and the Adventure Series Indiana Jones (Map Room) and Kazim. All are Target exclusives.
Hasbro has also revealed two new 6″ Adventure Series figures: Indiana Jones (Map Room) from Raiders of the Lost Ark and Kazim from The Last Crusade. Based on their lack of “Build-An-Artifact” pieces and assortment numbers, these two are likely fan channel exclusives here in the U.S. No preorders are being taken for these two figures at this time.
Hasbro today has revealed 5 new Retro Collection figures for their Indiana Jones line! Figures include Indiana Jones (Temple of Doom), Short Round (Temple of Doom), Indiana Jones (The Last CrusadeThe Last Crusade), Sallah (The Last Crusade) and Henry Jones Sr. (The Last Crusade). Like the Star Wars brand, no preorders are being taken for these in the near future.
Recent shipping data shows that the Walmart exclusive6″ Adventure Series Walter Donovan figure has started to arrive in the U.S.. Preorders are scheduled to open for this figure as part of the Walmart Collector Con in March.
It appears that GameStop has bumped the price of the mainline figures (PFP wave and later) and the ROTJ40 figures to $26.99 each. With prices of exclusives already at $28.99, we’ll be offered basic figure repaints for $30+ before the year is over — if they can move the glut of peg warming Gaming Greats that is.

While Hasbro has cutback on the number of new preorders, you can still get some of the new figures shown this week by preordering the existing TVC Wave 15 at sponsor Entertainment Earth.
TVC Wave 15 breakdown: 2x Cassian Andor – Aldhani Mission (Andor) 2x Hunter (The Bad Batch) 1x Clone Trooper – Phase II Armor (Andor) 1x Admiral Piett (Return of the Jedi) 1x Starkiller – Vader’s Apprentice – (The Force Unleashed) 1x Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor) – carry forward/repack from wave 13
Hasbro has issued a statement regarding future preorders and product releases. I think this is a good thing until release dates, distribution and fulfillment of existing preorders (in the past there have sometimes been near 100 outstanding preorders) can be sorted out.
